Free Republic

Hundreds March In Downtown LA To Support Immigrant Rights -- story at link, with video

In America today, liberalism in politics is like a coin with different images on either side: “Democrat” on one, and “Republican” on the other. It’s the coin of government tyranny to force people, for their own or the “public” good, into supporting things they despise. Liberalism is the presumption of government tyranny to regulate morality, finances, and personal responsibility “for the greater good.” In recent presidential candidates at least, Republicans and Democrats both want nationalized health care; “right” to abortion; gun control; forcing all to accommodate open homosexuality; “compassionate” immigration policies to gain liberal votes; welfare support of sloth, promiscuity,...

Star Trek: Into Darkness: My Semi-Review with a Yoda Contemplation The new take on old characters in “Star Trek: Into Darkness” is like adding almonds to chocolate: it makes a good thing differently as good if not better. From Uhura to Chekov to Sulu, the entire crew is great fun to watch. Perfect pitch characterizes Zachary Quinto’s Spock, Karl Urban’s Bones McCoy, and Simon Pegg’s Scotty. And as a Captain Kirk admirer since I was nine years old, I think Chris Pine is impeccably cast as Kirk. Yet I was even more pleased with the plot. Star Trek: Into Darkness...

I didn't see a Rush thread today ... Walter E. Williams hosted for Rush today, and had Thomas Sowell on as a guest. It was GREAT! My question: was anyone listening when the caller asked Walter about Romney? Just as he was answering the caller, I got interrupted and didn't get to hear! I love Walter E., and I love Thomas Sowell. It doesn't get any better than hearing the two of them talk politics with each other!

After being gone for awhile, KABC AM 790 in Los Angeles has brought back Larry Elder to the airwaves starting TODAY! His show airs 9 to noon ... up against Rush, alas, but Larry Elder is a kindred spirit. WELCOME BACK, LARRY.

Check out KGIL's website or google KGIL or John Ziegler. On LIVE right now, but will rebroadcast frequently.

Dan’s Bake Sale and Rush Limbaugh – 16 Years Ago Today ONLY Five Years After Rush’s Show Became Nationally Syndicated (1988) Letter from my Mother May 24, 1993 Fort Collins, Colorado Dear [Finny]: If there were liberals there, they were quiet as Republicans at Hyannisport. Dan’s Bake Sale. Fort Collins, Colorado, Old Town Square. May 22, 1993. Tens of thousands of Rush listeners were there, from all over the U.S. and the world. Local newspaper headlines proclaim 20,000-plus. No way – the number had to have been double or triple. They started arriving in the Ft. Collins area as early...

I just heard a caller to the Larry Elder Show say that she went to a theater in West L.A. to see An American Carol, and they didn't even have it on the marquee. The worst was when she said some friends reported gettng ticket stubs that didn't even have the name of the film on them. Hmmmm ... makes me wonder if some of our tickets were tallied in the columns of another picture?

Check out my friend's on-the-money cartoons about guys in the military and what they face.

About ten minutes ago, Husband in hills behind Brea, between Brea and Chino Hills, spotted in the northwest what looked like something entering the atmosphere. We grabbed binoculars, and it was extremely high altitude, coming in, not going out. Anybody see it? Can probably still spot it further north, as in Pasadena, etc. Grab binocs and look.

Fellow Freepers -- I thought I just heard Hugh Hewitt say that he was going to be on the Today Show during the 7 a.m. slot tomorrow. Can anyone confirm it? I may have heard wrong ...

Looking for a Realtor in Orange County, California, who is a Republican! Called the Republican Party of Orange County to see if they could recommend anyone, but alas, they don't list members by profession. Any suggestions, advice, names? Feel free to FReepmail me or answer here.

MOHAMMED, JESUS AND NICK by a Thoughtful Conservative Friend You mention that the topic on Free Republic for the past few days has been the Nick Berg Abu Ghraib “retaliation” murder. As Islam preaches “an eye for an eye,” you’d think the six Muslim captors would have stripped Nick Berg, tied him to a bunk, and covered his head with a pair of women's panties! Instead, this video is the most brutal thing I’ve ever seen. They mercilessly roll Nick onto his stomach while a practitioner of the "Religion of Peace" jumps on his back with his knee, and another...

On a different forum I already posted a similar request -- someone suggested I post to this forum. I am looking for people, especially families with kids, who do not have a television in the house. Specifically, I am most immediately interested in such folks who live in Southern California, however I am interested in no-television households anywhere. For a personal project, I seek anecdotes and testimonials as to the lifestyles of folks who have chosen to dump TV. Feel free to post here or to freepmail me. Thanks -- finfreak

I'm a newbie ... I hope I'm not breaking any rules here ... I am interested in getting some anecdotes about the lives and lifestyles of people, especially families, who have NO television in the house. Anyone who fits this description is of interest to me, but especially anyone who lives in Southern California. If you are one, please freepmail me -- it might also make for interesting comments on this thread, too... Thanks in advance, Finfreak
